TREND REPORT ** SPRING WRAP-UP

Leopard Bags

I love this trend. I'm not a huge fan of patten hence why all of bags are solid-colored. But I really want a leopard bag particularly like this one or a funky Betsey Johnshon one.


60S coats

I find this trend extremely romantic and classy. Think playful spring colors: pinks,yellows and light blues!


Military vests & jackets

Sure,you're too delicate for the army but a military vest is the next best FASHIONABLE thing.


Color blocking

You may or may not know but I'm not a huge fan of a lot of colors. Sure ,I have my Katy Perry days but 8/10 times-I'm in cool or pastel colors. But I'll give this look a try this summer :) I'll try anything once...


Platform heels

*swooooon*


Trench dresses

Love this! This is a statement piece. Don't overkill with leggings or jewelry!!!




Preppy Prep

Let's all pretend we're rich,beautiful and have lots of drama. Some of you may already be these things... Bring out the blazers,riding boots and pastel cardigans!


Big Bangles &

Lucite jewelry


Citrus colors

Instead of looking like an orange (*cough* Snooki) wear orange instead. What a fun way to bring the summer in...


Blue nail polish

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE. I'm rocking this color right now

xoxo

Trend Report

Hippie Headbands

For some odd reason this trend is coming back. I remember when I rocked this back in '08 and got some pretty weird looks all over Brooklyn. *Sigh*

How to Rock the Hippie Headband:
1. Part hair in either a straight part down the middle, or create a loose jig-jag part down the middle of your head.

2. Wrap a skinny headband around the top of your forehead, avoid tucking your hair behind your ears!

3. If you have bangs, wear the headband over your bangs.

4. Throughout the day/night check your headband and avoid mushroom head(:D) by tucking your hair in.

Multi-Color Nails
It must be the year of LOUD color everywhere-hair,nails,etc.I gave you all an example of my "Purple Zebra" nails a couple post below. It's fun,just try it. That's why they created polish remover!

Now your nails will always match your outfit..


Leopard Scarves
Any animal print (even Zebra) can be very classic and trendy when done in small amounts.

Scarf from Echo


Brown is the color
You must have an essential go to bag without print or any other distraction just for school or work. Trust me,it goes w/everything and looks S-H-A-R-P!

Burberry bag
Tip: Go Brown w/bags,boots and watches:)

Purple Eyeshadow

This a universally beautiful color on every skin tone. Hot Makeup look this fall!

What's on your summer wishlist?

That's a pretty big question but I've narrowed it down to the must haves...
**Not in any specific order*

-The "Perfect" Fedora
Not the kind your grandpa wore but the ultra trendy ones you see in the fashion magazines.A straw hat fedora is more appropriate and weather friendly for the hot days of summer.

Now where do you find these hats has always been some type of enigma. Forever 21 and H&M will probably have a couple but check the small boutique that caters to the hipsters in your city.Also online shopping is probably the best bet. Check Alloy.com

-The "Perfect" Summer dress
I hope you know that coral is the "It color" this summer. If you heard it was anything else--THEY LIED.

Forever 21 Satin Shirt Dress;$27.80
Now I think i may have this category covered already. I got a dress (totally different from the above pic). It coral dress with a bustier type and a criss-cross back with a gold zipper. I have no idea when to wear it. My 19th birthday maybe? Omg,I'm going to be 19 in September...*quickly changes topic*

-The "Perfect" Cocktail Shorts
To me,this is one of those trends that always come back once summer arrives.Dress it up or dress it down!I would love black ones...I need to brighten up,eh?


-The "Perfect" Handbag
Leather will stick to my arms.Suede is just...weird.That still leaves plenty of options. And of course it'll all depends where you're going-work,school,beach etc.

Is this a good summer bag? Alloy.com-Shada Bag;$39.90

-The "Perfect" Tank Top
I'm not taking about those lame spaghetti strap things. Tops like this:

Alloy.com;$22.00

-The "Perfect" Sandal
I don't think it's possible but have fun trying.


-The "Perfect" Romper
Denim,Satin(Why would you do that?)...pick your flavor.

If you're blessed with divine legs show them off! A little shimmer and leg makeup = perfect legs

-The "Perfect" Skinny Cargo Pants


And of course -The "Perfect" pair of sunglasses.Whether you're into designers names or not there's a formula for the perfect sunglasses based on your face shape. Good thing to Google.
